Re: West Regional: #1 Wisconsin vs. #4 Vermont, #2 St. Cloud vs. #3 Northern Michigan
You know I have read this post about six (6) times and even giving it the most liberal interpretation it is still wholly incoherent. Here's a suggestion, try posting something cogent. You know, something that makes actual sense.
...or are you just the sad product of an underachieving public school district?
Listen, mope, buy a clue. If you wish to discern my allegiance just read the quote at the end of my post. Hello! McFly!
Ok I will dumb it down for you.
A.) UML fans for 10 months have talked trash about how good their team was going to be this year with 100 seniors on the roster.
B.) Much of this trash talk has been with regards to UVM and how UML should just be handed the HE championship while UVM may as well not even take the ice.
C.) Still with me? Good... UML was bounced from the HE tourney in the first round.
D.) UML did not make the NCAA Tourney.
E.) Your rant about UVM not be worthy of playing for the NC, sounds to me to be a UML fan who created an alias to bash UVM, since they are ****ed off that UVM got in and UML didn't. Couple that with the lack of posts, means your account was just created, say right at the end of the year about the time teams were selected. Thus, the creation of an alias.
Did you get that??
I realize your tag line would indicate that you do not go to UML, but then again it would also indicate that you can read, so I have to go with the conclusion that it is fabricated as well. I mean I could create a signature that said I went to Harvard for my BS, Yale for my MS and then Dartmouth for my PhD......doesn't mean it's true.
Still with me or have I lost you?????
Your argument regarding in conference record being a reason for VT not to be in the tourney is reactionary at best. League games are factored into RPI which is not only a PWC, but also the tie breaker making it more heavily factored then the other comparisons. The fact that UVM finished 8th bears little relevance. Hypothetically a league could for example have the top 10 teams in the country and are all basically even, everyone plays essentially .500 hockey because the conference just is that good overall, and the first place team ends up 2 points ( that would be one win ) over the 10th place team. Even though these are the 10 best teams in the country, by your logic only the top 4-5 should make the tourney leaving out 5-6 of the best teams in the country simply because they weren't in the top of the league standings???
See, this is the National tourney, ergo records against all teams are what matters. There is already a tournament that is based on league records......its the league tournament.
So listen mope, get a clue. What you fail to realize is that the process really doesn't matter. Every single coach knows the criteria and they play to that criteria. Some play the game better then others.
And as for bias against certain conferences.....well that's retarded. How can a purely objective process favor anyone? If all the teams in the AHA played good competition, won games and as a result PWC then they would all make the tourney. Its not freaking rocket science......
I love all the talk about how Wisconsin doesn't have the firepower as well. Check your facts boys, we're #1 in goals scored this season and #2 in goals per game. We've got a 4 players over the 40 point mark, 1 over the 50 point mark, and 4 more over 20. But yeah...keep thinking we have no fire power.
